 Good as a reminder October 26, 2008
Books, Boxes & Portfolios: Binding, Construct and Design, Step-By-Step
Not bad as a reminder for teachers and those not fully educated as a bookbinder. Serves as a reasonable text book. Expected better, but has some good hints.
 A clear and useful introduction to bookbinding January 11, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have done several bookbinding and box-building projects, and have looked at a number of books on the subjects. This is the best introduction I have seen. I wish I had had it when starting out.
The language is clear and effective. The illustrations (mostly drawings) are also clear and effective. There is a helpful listing of the tools needed. All are simple hand tools, and none are particularly expensive. The suggested materials are currently widely available. If you are thinking of doing a bookbinding project, and have no experience, this book is highly recommended.
 Illustrations of abysmal quality November 26, 2006

Ridiculously poor illustrations largely consisting of simple line drawings that have the appearance of third generation photocopies.
Absolutely perfect! November 10, 2006

The book I ordered was brand new and I saved so much from the retail price! The best part was that it qualified for free shipping and it came within 4 days!! What a surprise that was! I have to say that I am extremely delighted to use amazon and this seller.

Thorough and practical. Every hand bookbinder needs a copy of this classic work.
